A substantially sized sound delivery disc that can be hung on a wall or paired with an accompanying wooden tripod, the A9 Speaker from Bang & Olufsen offers more than just an iconic shape—it packs some nifty features too. Users can raise the volume by sliding their hand along the top rim in a counter-clockwise motion (and lower the volume by moving clockwise) and pause the audio play out by simply placing a hand on the disc.

Sonus Faber Sf 16

Speaker or spaceship? The Sonus Faber Sf 16 makes a compelling case that otherworldly intelligence may have been involved in its construction. The ovoid-shaped, all-in-one speaker features two retractable arms that hold mid-range drivers and tweeters which can be deployed at the direction of the user to create a more robust soundscape.

When a luxury auto brand and a luxury audio brand love each other very much, they make something beautiful together. Such is the case with the Naim for Bentley Mu-so, a standalone smart speaker collaboration from Bentley and Naim. In addition to bringing a touch of class—and expertly designed audio—to any room, the Naim for Bentley Mu-So comes with the top-tier streaming service Tidal integrated into the system.

Naim for Bentley Mu-so is available for $1,621.

Master and Dynamic MA770

Here’s something for fans of hard rock. Literally. Designed by Ghanaian British architect Sir David Adjaye, this sloped speaker incorporates an “acoustically superior proprietary concrete composite.” Despite its formidable exterior, the MA770 offers easy access via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection. The device also comes with a magnetically self-centering (and easily removable) stainless steel grill for owners who prefer a more classic speaker appearance over the cool comfort of concrete composite.

The Master & Dynamic MA770 is available for $1,800.

Devialet Gold Phantom

If you’re looking for a speaker to match your jewelry collection—and who isn’t?—you’ll do no better the Gold Phantom by Devialet. The relatively petite speaker packs a ton of style in its fashionable frame, but doesn’t slack on sound quality either, providing ultra-dense audio with precision and clarity. And it also comes in silver.

The Devialet Gold Phantom is available for $2,990. The Devialet Silver Phantom is available for $2,390.

HiVi MS-2

Minimalist—and almost metronome-like—in appearance, the MS-2 from HiVi is a wireless speaker system built with internet-enabled devices in mind. Standing nearly four-feet tall, the highly designed audio equipment might easily be confused for an art installation—one music stream will quickly reveal its intended purpose, however. It’s built with cutting-edge audio technology that not only enables its remarkable shape, but allows for a sublime audio experience.
